Luis Gutiérrez: Martin O’Malley ‘champion’ of immigration.

[elleng]

Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), the loudest congressional voice on immigration reform and critic of the White House over deportations, on Saturday held up likely 2016 Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley as a reliable ally and champion on the issue.

Old, but good.

1. O'Malley has been excellent on immigration!

I am glad to hear Rep. Gutierrez say so.

9. Same here. This is an issue where the GOP cannot compete

The GOP has done so much damage to families as they stalled legislative progress.
Hope O'Malley forces the Clown Car candidates to address their many failed policies.

Kudos to O'Malley..

2. Another DU thread is insinuating that this guy is getting his

Surrogate Attack Mode on, on behalf of Clinton.

Hmmmm....!

3. To which thread are you referring,

and 'surrogate attack mode?' Please explain.

4. This one. The source is The Hill, and they can mess up on occasion.

We'll have to hear the interview to know for sure what was said...!

5. Ya I noticed that somehow Hillary is blamed & mocked because

..well, because that's what they do best.
Here's the situation:

"Congressman Gutierrez, Click if you "Like Me" on immigration".

SANDERS

O'MALLEY. X

And the Sanders peeps predictbly blame Hillary for Gutierrez publicly endorsing O'Malley's Immigration policy

OKEE DOKEE..

I am glad to hear this endorsement on behalf of O'Malley.
And that it encourages Sanders to address the isdue.

Immigration is the most single voting block that will hand the 2016 election to the Dem candidate.

I believe Gutierrez was merely opening the door to Sanders, rather than a diss on any candidate.

Dem policy on immigration is far ahead of the GOP & they know it.
This should be spoken of often & loudly because the GOP would like that subject to remain quiet.

6. O'Malley is flying under the radar for now. Not sure why Sander's supporters would

attack O'Malley anyway. O'Malley shares the same views, but has actually accomplished many of his proposals. He has a liberal record of accomplishments.

[misterhighwasted]

7. It sounded like they are attacking Hillary because Gutierrez

..gave a public pat on the back to O'Malley for his immigration policy, but didn't the same for Sanders.
But Hillary got the blame for that.
That's the weird part.

[FSogol]

8. Some on DU are more against a certain candidate than they are for the candidate they promote.

With so much Bernie love on DU, why aren't there informational posts about his legislation and accomplishments? Everything about him on DU is a generalization such as, "he's right about everything." Why aren't they informing us better?

[misterhighwasted]

11. Yes, I see that also.

As though they post from a prepared script.
I don't have an answer as to why this needs to be done.
Oh well.

10. Saw that. With some everything is Hillary's fault.

Flat tire - Hillary's fault. Broken egg yoke - Hillary's fault. Slow wifi - Hillary's fault. Drought - Hillary's fault. Hang nail - Hillary's fault.


etc. etc. etc.


So boring.

[misterhighwasted]

12. oh well, its ok to question but maybe better to just continue

..promoting our candidate's strengths. Whomever goes up against the GOP in 2016 needs the support of the Nation.

Dems have good strong candidates.
The GOP does not, but they do have a proven corrupt approach to gaining a position of power & that is a serious concern

[FSogol]

13. Exactly correct. The Democrats need to pull together and win this election. Who the candidate is

will be sorted out by the primary season, not by bickering on DU.
